10.1 Cleaning
Carefully clean the machines with water after each cut; remove the grass debris and mud
accumulated inside the chassis to avoid their drying and thus making the next start-up difficult.
The paintwork on the inside of the chassis may peel off in time due to the abrasive action of
the cut
grass; in this case, intervene promptly by touching up the paintwork using a rustproof paint to
prevent the formation of rust that would lead to corrosion of the metal.
Remove the transmission casing by removing the screws and clean around the transmission
and drive belts with a brush or compressed air once or twice a year.
Once every season, the drive wheels should be cleaned internally. Remove both wheels.
Clean the gear wheel and the wheel gear rim of grass and dirt using a brush or compressed
air.
10.2 Changing the blade

Reinstall as showed in fig 5? tighten the screws properly. Tightening torque 45Nm.
